Back to School: How to Manage College Sober

The process of getting sober is often perceived as the cessation of drinking and using drugs while there is little to no acknowledgment of the mental and emotional sobriety that accompanies recovery. When an addict forfeits the right to use alcohol and drugs, taking a step away from the mental fog of mind-altering substances, they are faced with a mild identity crisis: “Who am I without drugs and alcohol?” This is the question we work closely to address with our clients at New Method Wellness through each individual session, activity and group therapy.
